78 in the Shade is the fifth and final studio album by Small Faces, and the second during their reunion.

It was released on the Atlantic label in 1978 and re-issued in 2005 on Wounded Bird.

The follow-up to the reunion album Playmates, 78, like its predecessor, was not successful and the band broke up soon afterwards.

Mainstream music in Britain was rapidly changing direction, punk rock having been established around this time.

[2] Guitarist Jimmy McCulloch briefly joined this line-up after leaving Wings.
